FAQs

Q: Do you accept films completed prior to 2025?

A: Yes, we accept all films regardless of date filmed, completed, distributed, etc. Our mission is to give the filmmakers an opportunity to bring their films to life in front of an audience, whether for the first time or the hundredth.

Q: May I submit more than one film?

A: Yes, submit as many as you like! However, we will only select a single film from an individual director at any one event. We encourage filmmakers to submit any film they believe deserves the screentime.

Q: A film I submitted previously was not selected. May I submit it again?

A: Yes! Every event has timing and curation restraints -- so just because it didn't get chosen last time doesn't mean we wouldn't choose it for a future event.

Q: May I submit a rough cut?

A: Yes, but the final version must be uploaded before the final deadline. We try to make accommodations for updated versions, but make no guarantees.

Q: May I submit if my film has already screened at other festivals or is online?

A: Yes, in fact we'd love to know if it has won other awards!
